Whispernet Down Today! Up! Down! Up!
As noted on CNet, Amazon has yet another bout of technical issues today. Their S3 servers are down in both North America and Europe. I noticed this when I tried to download a Kindle book wirelessly, which did not show up. Whe I tried via the web and PC, I got an "item currently unavailable" message.

No word yet on what happened.....

I had problems a couple of days ago. I haven't tried to buy anything today (shocking but true). I'll see if I get a sample of something.

Edit: I downloaded 2 different samples, one from the Kindle and one from my computer. Both arrived with no problems. Maybe the outage is fixed or is spotty.

This is the "health site" for Amazon's web services, and you can see if something's down or not.

Yes, it seems to be up again. I was able to download via PC and transfer to the Kindle. It did not, however, pick up the failed wireless download and "re-download" it wirelessly, I had to do it manually by PC.

How do you people know about these things? Thanks for sharing.
